trade idea: Garnett and Troy H. for Slava, D. George, Odom, Ronny T and Miami 1st rounder

I know guys. You are all probably thinking "here we go again". I realize this Garnett topic has been discussed numerous times here, but I want to discuss it once again. And please, its just discussion so don't jump down my throat as some of you are prone to do.

This is what I think. I think KG is fed up and believes he will never get a ring in Minny. I also believe the T-Wolves are coming to the realization that they are never going to win an NBA titile with their current make-up, so its time to strip the team down and re-build. Therefore, I think that we can offer them a nice package to help them begin their rebuilding process by offering them Slava and D. George's expiring contracts, LO, Ronny T and the Miami 1st rounder for KG and T. Hudson. Now I know LO has a big contract but its not nearly as large as KG's. In addition, LO is 26 and has not even entered his prime. Now I dont know if the salaries match and it also does not have to be Hudson. What I do know is the 2007 plan or 2008 plan (whatever it is) is not going to work in my opinion. Taking a paycut just to go to another team is not something that most players would not do. After all, we are talking about several million dollars here folks.

So lets scrap the plan and go for this trade. The question is: would the t-wolves go for it? Another question is: Would Mitch be offering too much?

The T-wolves would hang up....any conversations would begin with (assuming they don't ask for kobe) lamar and bynum, even that wouldn't be enough. And to Laker management that is too much, so its an impasse

Isn't Hudson injured? How about Jaric instead?

I think Jaric would be a good fit as a big guard in the triangle. The T-Wolves are said to be shopping him too. The main thing is getting KG. As it is Cook is killing teams when he gets open looks. Imagine the open looks he would get with Kobe and KG on the floor at the same time.

Garnett would never be traded to this team without us shipping Bynum and Odom. Plain and simple. I swear, sometimes people on this board act like we're the only team in the NBA other teams can trade with. Like no team could top the "Slava, Luke, George, and Miami's 1st rounder..." line that LG posters start EVERY trade idea with. Can we please ban these self-delusion and idiotic posts?

my post was intended to read as Odom AND Bynum, not just one or the other. There's no way we get Garnett without giving up Bynum. The wolves aren't gonna give up one of the top 3 players in the NBA for Odom and garbage. Use your brain.

have you guys heard anything about a trade for kg to golden state? one of my friends keeps insisting its going to happen but i haven't heard anything. he told me they're giving up pietrus, troy murphy, i think some trade exception worth x amount and maybe something else. the thing is though that he said that it does not include jason richardson or baron davis. why would minnesota do this? they would lose their only post presence and they get a big that's a shooter and doesn't really play with his back to the basket. not to mention obviously pietrus is not a shooter. i told him that does not make sense but he keeps insisting that they're talking about it on the warriors board. just wanted to know if any of you knew anything about it

Why is it that everytime someone posts some KG idea, they seem to think they're the first person to come up with a great idea? Everyone would make this trade, except Minnesota. Come on. This is ridiculous.
